Park managers call for cost-effective and innovative solutions to handle a wide variety of
environmental problems that threaten biodiversity in protected areas. Recently, drones have …

The use of unoccupied aircraft systems (UASs, also known as drones) in science is growing
rapidly. Recent advances in microelectronics and battery technology have resulted in the …

Accurate, precise and rapid acquisition of topographic data is fundamental to many sub-
disciplines of physical geography. Technological developments over the past few decades …

Abstract Structure‐from‐motion (SfM) photogrammetry is revolutionising the collection of
detailed topographic data, but insight into geomorphological processes is currently restricted …

We propose a novel technique to measure the small-scale three-dimensional features of a
shallow-water coral reef using a small drone equipped with a consumer-grade camera, a …

Abstract The Last Interglacial (MIS 5e, 128–116 ka) is among the most studied past periods
in Earth's history. The climate at that time was warmer than today, primarily due to different …

Beaches are characterized by high morphodynamic activity, and high-frequency
measurements are needed to understand their states and rates of change. Ideally, beach …

The aim of this study was to evaluate topographic changes along a stretch of coastline in the
Municipality of Borghetto Santo Spirito (Region of Liguria, Italy, north-western …

Floods are amongst the most common and devastating of all natural hazards. The alarming
number of flood-related deaths and financial losses suffered annually across the world call …

Spatial data acquisition is a critical process for the identification of the coastline and coastal
zones for scientists involved in the study of coastal morphology. The availability of very high …
